So apparently if you're really gentle like a fine lady, you can rinse out 2/3 of the gluey residue from the roots and make the plants happy again. After two or three repeat every couple of days I finally managed to get the plants to absorb more nutrients then ever before and look at this, these little plants started to bounce back!!! If you ever try to work on young roots, BE EXTRA GENTLE, they snap extremely easy so you really need to try to do better than you thought you could do.
This day also marks the day where I've finally installed my second tent (it's going to be the veg tent from now on), transplanted my six hydro beauties into two separate 35L (70L in fact) water reservoirs as usual and installed a third reservoir of the same size in the veg tent (it's the same res for six plants that I've used over the past few weeks).
I've cleaned every reservoir with medical grade chemicals to eliminate all the organic residue and other bacteria and switched to Advanced Nutrients, this time the Connoisseur version of Grow and Bloom fertilizers because I was very pleased with the normal Micro/Grow/Bloom ferts in the past. Hopefully it will help the plants to reach full strength and health even faster than the regular fertilizers.
I've also topped all the plants in fabric pots and I believe four out of six plants in hydro. (I was scared because they are still gentle after what they've been through the first couple of weeks). I also bought like a hundred plastic bendy things that you put on branches to make them gently bend instead of wiring every single side branch to the reservoirs which has been a huge pain in the ass over the past few years. It's going to be the first time I use them, so hopefully the do what they were supposed to do when I'm back.
I'm preparing my new perpetual grow system to the best of my knowledge before I go on a little vacay for around 10 days so hopefully everything will go according to plan.
I've also installed CO2 bags at the top of both tents and hopefully I'll see a considerable change in size after I get back.
I'm only a bit worried about the plants in fabric pots because I've prepared two different solutions for veg and flowering plants because the three automatic plants in pots started to flower already and I'll be feeding them through the LetPot irrigation system and I'm still pretty new to it.
Let's just hope for the best :D
See ya after vacay.
XOXO

Hi friend. This strand is TRULY amazing. Im POSITIVE u'll love her.. Enjoy the excellence genetics.. You are growing them excellent they look beautiful and happy
@Cremo,.. Shes going to about double in size.. Shes a monster of a plant.. Loads of buds huge mail colas. She drinks a lot of nutrients too.. U will love her. Shes a champion
@JamMAKEcan, my friend! I really have high hopes fot this genetics. I've switched to flowering a few days ago while the plant was already over 90cm tall π± and the flowering stretch didn't even start yet. Hopefully the plant will yield a ton of goodness :P

@Cremo,..go for the tallest one. Remember ceiling height is the main thing so I'll do the closest to the light. Do it low enough to last the rest of grow lol.
@JamMAKEcan, the Crasher is one of the most flavorful plants this season. I love the limonene and other monoterpenes I get from this plant. What great flavors!
@Doctors_Choice, this is exactly what I thought. I'll def run the crasher once again in the future, as I stated in one of the previous weeks, the plant was big but the others got even bigger which was unfortunate for it and it couldn't live up to its full potential.
